INDIANAPOLIS SOCIALISTS.

They Regard the Coming Execution as q Ca
lamity. but Are TakingsNo Action.
While Indianapolis has some people with so
cialistic ideas, whose sympathies are with the
condemned Anarchists, nothing is being done
publicly In their behalf. A score of their leaders
gathered about their place Of meeting, on Mary
land street, last evening and talked seriously of
what in store for the men, but no meeting
called for the purpose of taking any action.
The leaders look upon the hanging of the men
as the greatest calamity that could befail Amer
lea, and do not hesitate to express their sympa-
thy with the condemned. Philip Rappaport, the
editor Of the German Tribune, is the moving
spirit of the little band here. If he has a ray of
hope for the life of his friends he didn't show it
in his looks when Journal reporter called on
him in his Office yesterday afternoon.
mo, We are not doing anything in behalf Of
the condemned men" he said in answer to the
question. 1--WE don't think we can do anything.
If the lives of any of the mon are spared it must
be through the efforts OF the citizens of Chi
cago. Peti tons from other cities do not think
will do any good. The people of Chicago are the
ones directly interested, and if cl emency comes

that city are coming out in behalf of the me n.

of the city plead for the condemned men they

about the hanging of the men," he continued.
My position has been expressed frequently, and
is well known I am opposed to capital punish.
ment from principle, and the hanging Of the
men will be an awful thing"
Notwithstanding the claim Of the members Of
the society for the promotion of socialism that
nothing is being done in behalf of the con-
demnea men, the opinion prevails that the peo-
pie here who sympathzed with the cause have
not been inactive. What shape the efforts have
taken can not be known, but the frequent meet
tings and consultations of late indicate that
something has been done. A lady who has
been prominent in the socialistic movement
here, left for Chicago the latter part of last
week, and the supposition is that she went for
the purpose of representing Indianapolis in be-
half of the condemned men, and will likely 90
with the delegation to wait upon Governor
Oglesby Wednesday.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Count Kalnoky's Address Not Regarded as
Particularly Reassuring.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
LONDON, Nov. ENTHUSIASTICALLY the only
conclusion that can reasonably be accepted after
a careful study of Count Kalnoky's speech to the
Hungarian delegation. yesterday, is that tae
Austrian Premier strove hard to make the best
of a bad situation. The tone of his remarks was
far from being reassuring, and indicated
that the friction between Austria and
Russia was of greater severity than that of nero
diplomatic difference, though he implied that he
had not abandoned the hope OF inducing the
Cars government to become more friendly
toward the central powers. A closer tie of
amity between Russia and the central European
powers is admitted to be the Fundamental
condition of the enduring peace of Europe, and
no one knows better than Count Kalnoky the
Importance of cuItvating the good will of the
northern empire. since in event of a conflict
arising out of the Bulgarian question. or, in
deed, any other vital European difference Aus
tra could not escape being drawn into it. and up
on Austria, first of ALL would Russian guns be
rurned.

AFFAIRS IN UPPER EGYPT.

That Section Likely to Again Pass Under the
Control of the Dervishes..
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
LONDON, Nov. 6-The situation in upper
Egypt is again alarming, and hopelessiy hostile
to English and Egyptian interests. There are
no British troops south of Cairo, and it is ex-
tremely doubtful that the Egyptians can with
stand the onslaughts of the dervishes at Wady
Halfa. The garrison at that place is
virtually besieged. It is safe for the
time being only because the investing force hes
itates to make an attack, but it is merely ques-
ton of time when the stronghold will be
stormed and in the meantime the garrison dare
not attempt sortie any other
aggressive movement lest it betray its
weakness aud invite its certain ami
hilation. In the circumstances it is quite
likely that British troops may be sent from
Cairo and Alexandria in sufficient force to &C.
cupy the hostile country. and here will begin an
almost interminable dispute to the right of
England to reoccupy the territory she has
evacuated and given the world to understand
she had permanently abandoned.

Protection for strawberries.
Country Gentleman.


Mulching strawberries late in autumn, or Just
before freezing weather sets in 10 very useful if
done in the right way. If left exposed all win
ter the plants meet with serious check. if they
not killed. Some protection is therefore
great benefit. But caution required not t.
put on too heavy a covering to smother and rot
them. The safest protection consists of ever
green branches. which may be applied witk
greater thickness than straw. If eve-greens
cannot be had, the straw other material
should be thin enough to admit some air and
light. The difference between covering and ex-
posture may be very distinctly observed early in
spring. if portions of the bed plantation have
been treated in both ways. As as the
ering is removed the plants will present a FRESH
and green hue, in contrast with the brown and
injured leaves OF those which were exposed. II
straw berry plants are set out in autumn the
earth should be pressed compactly about them,
TO prevent lifting by frost, and sligh: mound,
beaten smooth, should encircle each plant, to
throw off the water of rains and prevent soak
ing But generally it is better to transplant in
spring, and in some places and on some soils it
is absolutely necessary.

Why 1t Is Believed the Secretary Will
Never Reach the Supreme Bench.
Senator Edmunds, Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee. on Record in Opposition to
Appointment of Rebel Sympathizers.
LAMAR AND THE SUPREME BENCH.

General Belief that the Senate Would De-
cline to Confirm His Nomination.
Special to the Indianapolis Journar.
WASHINGTON, Nov. cit is not generally be-
lieved by Democrats Republicans that tho
appointment of Secretary Lamar to a position
on the bench of the Supreme Court Of the United
States would be confirmed, and a number of
Republican Senators have stated, in such a way
that it may reach the of the President,
that they will oppose confirmation if the ap-
pointment is made. They claim that he is not
fitted for the position in any way and that
it he were on the bench his record on many SUBJ
lects would keep him shelved very much of the
time. Senator Edmunds is already commit
ted against confirmation of an appointment like
this. and he is chairman Of the committee on
judiciary, which must consider it before it comes
up for action by the full Senate. Mr.. Edmunds
refused to report, and pigeon holed the appoint
ment by President Grant of Caleb Cushing to
be Chief-justice. and the appointment was with
drawn. Mr.. Cushing it ascertained by the
records of the War Department., had written
letter to JEFF Davis asking official favor in
the form of promotion of a soldier in the con-
federase army. Mr.. Edmunds would, there
fore, stultify himself if he reported in favor of
Mr. Lamar. who not only was friend
OF jeff Davis. but has defended him
whenever opportunity offered, and has been
an able coadjutor of Davis in keeping alive con-
federate issues ever since the Under these
circumstances it is not absolutely certain that
Colonel Villas will achieve his ambition and as

LnndOnys Scandals

LONDON, Nov. 6-The society story Of the

MINOR MATTERS.

An Effort To Be Made to Secure Open Ex-
ecutive Sessions of the Senate
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov Cone of the first moves
to be made when the Senate meets, next month
will be in the direction Of open sessions for con.
sideration of at least portion of the executive
business. Heretofore an injunction of secrecy
has been placed upon all executive sessions. al
though pretty full reports have been regularly
published in the press of the country The
Senators who had an eye to getting even" with
any one have had an opportunity in the giving
out of the secret work. The result has been that
through design and innocent error great injustice
has been done some Senator's they have been
quoted wrongfully, and their votes on certain
su bjects lave been falsely reported There is
desire upon the part of the most fair-minded
Senators to display more frankness in their work
and to skulk less. They have been repeatedly
charged with doing and saying things behind
closed doors. where they were protected bv
oath, which they would not do if they believed
the parties interested would know it. If open
executive sessions are refused some system OF
reporting the public part of the work will be
asked for There is no longer any excuse for
secret sessions to consider ordinary Senate
work, as has been the case for years and they
show disposition to be unfair to those who are
discussed
